PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
At Young Americans Christian School we believe that a Christian education begins in the home and is the
primary responsibility of the family. The school is to assist the parent (Deuteronomy 6:6-7) in providing our
students with educational and spiritual opportunities that develop the whole person (Luke 2:52) and lead
them to be what God has truly intended. We want our students to grow spiritually, academically, and
socially, through serving mankind (Ephesians 2:10) while reflecting the character of God and impacting
society with His truth. Students are encouraged to deepen their understanding of God’s Word, and how it
relates to every aspect of their life (II Timothy 2:15).
At Young Americans Christian School we believe in
providing an educational environment where students are
encouraged to do what is right. It is a place where students
realize what a valuable creation they are to God. It is a
place where students grow spiritually, academically, and
socially while being encouraged to always strive to do their
best for the glory of God (Colossians 3:23). The
educational philosophy of Young Americans Christian
School is based on the infallible word of God, which is the
final authority in everything we do. (I Timothy 3:16-17).
At Young Americans Christian School we believe the mind and the spirit must continually interact to affirm
the glory of God. Educators must instill the knowledge that there is one God over all and in all (Ephesians
4:6). It is through God that our mind and spirit come together. Mankind can only be free to reach its
greatest potential when we understand that God is the means for our existence, and that our life has a higher
purpose. Our happiness in life and our eternal security is the end result.
VISION STATEMENT
Young Americans Christian School desires for all students to come to a saving relationship with Christ and
for that relationship to be real and vibrant. The school seeks to teach students to serve God with a whole
heart and to be a light to an unsaved world. The school welcomes the opportunity for the family and school
to come together in shaping each student spiritually, emotionally, morally, and academically.
Mission Statement
Young Americans Christian School is a college preparatory school working
hand in hand with the family to cultivate students who will be academically
successful and will grow to be a light in the world for Christ.

SCHOOL STATEMENT OF FAITH
Although parents, students, and family members may have differing Biblical perspectives we adhere
to the following statement of faith:
We believe in the Divine verbal inspiration, infallibility, integrity, finality, and sole-sufficiency of the
Bible as the Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16, Heb. 1:1, 2 Peter 1:20)
We believe in the Holy Trinity of the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - three
persons co-equal in substance, power,
and eternity in the unity of the God-
head. (Matthew 28:19, John 15:26, II
Cor.13:14)
We believe that Salvation and
Justification of sinners is a gift of
grace through faith in the finished
work of Christ. (Romans 3:24, John
6:40, Phil. 3:9)
We believe in the Sanctification of believers: First, having been sanctified by the offering of the body
of Christ once for all; second, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit and the Word; third, to be sanctified
and glorified at the coming of Christ. (Romans 15:16, I Corinthians 1:2, I Peter 1:2)
We believe that those who come to God through faith in Christ, repentance of sin, confession of
Christ as the Son of God, and baptism are given eternal life and shall not perish, as is the promise of
His Word. (John 3:16, John 14:6, Acts 2:37-38)
We believe in New Testament Baptism of believers by immersion, which is the sign God’s people
receive in the New Testament pointing to the atoning work of Jesus Christ showing forth the death,
burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and our identification with Him. (Romans 6:1-7,
Matt. 3:13, John 3:23, Acts 8:36)
We believe in the Resurrection of the Body, both of the just and the unjust: the just at the coming of
our Lord, and the unjust at the final judgment and eternal punishment of the same. (I Corinthians 15,
John 3:15, Matt. 25:46)

SPIRITUAL LIFE
“My children excelling academically is
extremely important to me and YACS provides
a solid educational foundation. However, I am
most impressed by their commitment to
nurturing all aspects of their students’ well being.
They partner with parents with a common goal
of instilling Christian principles, building strong
character traits and exhibiting love for all people
which results in fully preparing our children to
make a remarkable impact in the world.”
-The James Family
Young Americans is Christian not only in name,
but in all we do. The school uses Christian
curriculum. The students have Bible class in all
grades from Elementary to High School. The
students are also required to memorize weekly
Bible verses. High school students also have
the option of trying out for the Chapel Praise
Team and also the YACS Mission Team.

MISSIONS YACS 11th and 12th graders are welcome to try out for the Mission Team if they choose. Students from Young Americans Christian School have worked in Brazil, Haiti, Mexico, Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua over the years. The Mission Team is led by School Director, Jan Taylor and several YACS teachers. The number one goal of the week is to go into high schools everyday teaching teenagers about Jesus through skits, stories and testimonies. One exciting event that took place during one trip was that the YACS group paid for and took 80 orphans on their first ever field trip and served them in a restaurant. It was many of the orphans first time to ever leave the orphanage. Every year the end of the week is very emotional for the group as they say their goodbyes. On one trip, one of the girls who had given her life to Christ that week said to the group as they were leaving, “We will see you again one day as we meet togeth- er in Heaven.” 10 EAGLE Magazine I 2020
OTHERS DAY
Others Day is one of our favorite days at YACS. Others Day is an annual event when all
students from K4-12th grade go out into the local community to serve others. The school
serves over 23 places and organizations on this day. Some examples of the groups from the
community that benefited from YACS Others Day were Camp Westminster, Elks Aidmore,
Crosspoint Christian Church, The Remington House, Magnolia Nursing Home, Salvation
Army, Covington YMCA, Uniting Hope 4 Children, Covington’s Chimney Park, and the
FISH food pantry. As a part of Others Day, students get sponsors from relatives, friends,
and businesses, for their work which helps the school fund large projects. Over the years
the school has been able to purchase items such as buses, enhancing the facility or
acquiring additional equipment for the school. This year was Young America’s most
successful Others Day in the history of the school. The goal for the students to raise was
$45,000. The students raised over $55,000 for the school to purchase new items in their
fine arts, technology, and athletic depart-
ments.
“The goal of YACS Others Day has
always been to bless others. It also
helps teach the students of YACS
the joy of helping and working for
others in the name of Jesus Christ.”
- Dr. David Taylor
YACS Administrator
